[Intro] E A E A E [Verse 1]
E
Well, I've listend tothe words you lovers speak,

    A                    E
The sound of the lover's song,
And I've dreamed all the dreams that a wayward girl dreams,
     A               E
In a thousand places gone,

              F#m
Dallas was my late night out,

A                              E
Radcliffe's served to roust me out,

    A                D                          E
And Houston lay like Cleavland with the color removed,

A     E    F#m
All I ever wanted,

       A      G#m    B
Was to wander and be wooed,

       A            F#m
Like a Woman of the Phoenix.

  B             E                     A    E
A welcomed Waterloo ooh, a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh,

                      A          E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh

                      A          E    A   E   A   E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
E
I've seen the sun blaze the breast of the countryside,

              A                   E
I've seen her huddled in a winter freeze,
And I've run cross paths of a thousand lives,
          A                          E
Among the cactus and the white birch trees,

            F#m7
Avloc ran a waterfront bar,

A                E
Vito, he was the king of theives,

                               D                    E
And Michael was a rock 'n roll hood from the Odessa plains,

                 F#m7
All of them were my kind,

A        G#m       B
Wild and damn near free,

       A            F#m            B             E    A   E
But, a Woman of the Phoenix is the medicine they ne--------ed.

                      A          E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh

                      A          E    A   E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh
